The sprites are not quite as smooth or as fast as those in the Amiga version, so the game feels a little stiff when you are playing it. Additionally the soundtrack that was superb on the Amiga sounds strained when transferred to the ST's inferior sound chip, and I guarantee you will turn it down after the first five minutes. Not a horrendous game, but not an essential buy either.

[Budget re-release] Do me a ﬂavour, not another blimmin' oldie shoot-'em-up. Gemlnl Wing is a blaster In the traditional "blow me, there's rather a lot happening on screen" mould. Zillions of power-ups and simultaneous two-player action make the game worth a look if you enjoy that kind of arcade action. Things can get very frantic very fast though.

The action's familiar and can be one- or two-player. The latter variation is quite fun and has the bonus of nicking each other's power-ups. The graphics are poor and the sound is not much better. At £7.99 it isn't really worth it, especially when there's Silkworm and Xenon around for the same price.
